I feel like Paul Revere with that title. LOL! But, I am excited about my daughter's family visit. She called last night to say they would be here in 2 weeks!
Just barely have enough time to finish my granddaughter's baby doll quilt. I will have to stop working on my string quilt and my cross stitch project and finish that little quilt.
Maybe I should just machine stitch it together with the backing?? What do you think?
If I go ahead with the tying, I can tie it every 2 or 3 inches. The quilt top measures approximately 24"x 26". If I tie every 2 inches, that means I will have 12 across by 13 down which equals 156 ties. Am I capable of finishing that many ties in 2 weeks? and then do the binding?
The binding is another question. I always do bindings by hand! Should I hand bind or machine bind? Help me out folks what would you do? It's really not a big quilt, but I also have to organize, stash, clean, dust, vacuum and child proof the cabin for their visit. My granddaughter is only 2 years old, so I have to go over the cabin with a fine tooth comb to child proof.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will start finishing it tomorrow. Today my "dance card" is already full of preparations for the visit.
I will post the final decision as to the finishing of the baby quilt. Let me know what you think!
Keep on quilting!
